This report summarizes the 16 evaluations being conducted by the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center on behalf of FHWA’s Research and Technology Program. The FHWA R&T Program furthers the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center’s goal of ensuring transparency, accessibility, and responsiveness of R&T for all stakeholders. The 16 evaluations can be grouped into two waves. The first wave consists of six retrospective and four prospective evaluations, while the second wave comprises six prospective evaluations. Five evaluation teams have finished data collection and written final reports. One team has delivered a final Phase I report and is preparing its Phase II report. Three evaluation teams have submitted Final Evaluation Plans while five other teams have written Draft Evaluation Plans. Of the remaining two, one team has submitted a preliminary evaluation plan and the other is initiating planning activities. |
